SHE WOULD NOT SAY YES.
Young Woman Refuses Before the Magistruee su
Marry the Nan.
[3. Louis Globe Democrat. ]


DECATUR, Ill, Oct. 13.-An attempted forced
marriage came to a sensational determination
this evening before Ira b. Curtis. a magistrate,
and in the presence of a dozen people. Philip
Davis brought his 18- year-old daughter, Barbara
Davis, from Mount Zion, on this afternoons
train, to marry James Fair, young man aged
"a employed by Dr. A. s. Waltz, of Decatur.
The license was procured in due form, and ths
couple stood up in the Office to respond to the
usual interr0gations. Fair did so quite readily,
but when it came Barbara's turn she calmly
replied that she did not love James and would
not marry him. The surprise was too much
for Curtis, who tossed the certificate over TO the
rejected groom and said that ended the busi-
ness for him. .
The father of the young lady stepped forward
and had low talk with his daughter, but she
was immovable, and, giving no reasons, left the
room and started for home in wagon with q
neighbor. 1t was learned that Barbars's pa
rents have been trying to force the marriage
for some months. She told woman that her
father had whipped her week ago for saying
she would not marry Fair. The groom walked
off up the street, badly disappointed. The
father was enraged, bat he could do nothing.

The reputation for square dealing of the
Plymouth Rock Pants Co. Of Boston, whose
advertisement appears in another column, is
too well known TO need any Endorsement. Their
invariable custom of cheerfully refunding
money at buyers request has won for them q
good name from Maine to California. Their
famous custom-nade Plymouth Rock 50 pants
however, are so uniformly satisfactory that
their offer TO refund is rarely accepted, the
buyer usually regretting but one thing-that
he did not begin TO save money by becoming
one Of their customers sooner. Any one send.

uselessness Of making a move during the pres

Bird Legends.

Following are a few Of the many bird
legends that people with bright imagi-
nations and ready inventions have con-
nected with feathered musicians.
The poor cuckoo, whose mournful cry
sounds so desolate in the quiet wood,
is always mourning for the death OF a
beloved brother. The cuckoo was
originally a beautiful young maiden.
She caused her brothers death unin-
tentionally, AMI was changed into the
bird whose sad cry is an expression OF
her bitter grief.
The owl was also once a beautiful
young girl. She was a bakers daugh-
ter. One day a good man, passing by.
asked for a piece of bread. She refused
it, and as a punishment was changed
INTO an owl. In Germany the swallow
and the lark are sacred birds, and their
morning song IS considered a hymn.
The nightingale, you know, only
sings at night. This was not so for
merIy. One night a nightingale fell
fast asleep, and the tendrils OF the vine
it sat upon grew round its feet, so that
it could not get away, and finally it
died. Since then the other nightln-
gales never dared sleep at night.

BalIade of the Penitents.


sOh, who be We that doubtful tread
And ~listless through the glad array
With languid look, with dropping head,
In all this rout of ladies gay?
Ye walk with them, but not as they,
We tarry sadly in their tents,
Why fare We thus half hearted, say?
ave are st. Satan's Penitentsi
ga ~straiter path we once would tread.
Through wilds that knew not ofthe May
The loads that weighed on us like lead,
We bore through thorne and slougbs o
clay.
No time had we TO pause or play
with music of glad instruments,
But still we clambered Well a day.
We are st. Satan's Penitents.
" THE path Is over steep we said,
The rueful skies are ashen gray,
And oger barshly are we sped,
Still upward Meier a stop nor stay
We cast our burdens all away.
We fled adown the steep ascents,
We were aweary of that way;
We are st. Satan's Penitents.
ENVOY.
Fair is the path and bright the day,
Where now we whisper u lamentsi
With backward glance we go astray,
We are St. Satan's Penitents.
